Chapter 825
Feng Yuan sensed Fan Jiannan's strange expression, and quickly walked to his side to look carefully at the carved Qin stone.This carved stone from the Qin Dynasty has weathered wind and rain on the top of Mount Tai, and is full of scratches and weathering marks.But the pattern behind it can be vaguely discerned, which is like a decorative pattern, meandering like a dragon and an insect, interlaced with each other to form a complex pattern.

"This is... is this the pattern on the jade talisman of the Five Sacred Figures?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

Fan Jiannan took out the cyan jade talisman, nodded and said, "It's exactly the same pattern. The pattern on the back of this stone tablet is Xia Dynasty Wuwen."

"Wuwen?" Wu Jinshan asked in surprise.

Fan Jiannan turned his head and said, "Why, Mr. Wu also knows this kind of shamanism?"

Wu Jinshan smiled wryly, "Did you forget that my surname is Wu? The origin of the Wu language is the ancient witches. And the people with the surname Wu are the direct descendants of the ancient witches."

Fan Jiannan was stunned and said, "Then you can understand Wuwen? Help me find out what the pictorial text behind this stone tablet means?"

After looking at it, Wu Jinshan frowned and said, "It looks like a character representing the ordinal number of stems and branches, but this kind of Xia Dynasty's witch script is too old, even in the Wu family, it has long been lost. I can barely guess the general meaning. But not necessarily precise."

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Mr. Wu please advise."

Wu Jinshan waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to teach you. Since you have helped me so much, I will always give something in return." He thought about it carefully and said, "I don't know all the Xia Dynasty Wuwen, but it's just luck. It’s better, these characters are variant characters of Ganzhi notation. I’ve seen some of them before.”

"Alternative characters?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Yes, variant characters are also called Youti or Orti. It is also called Chongwen in the oldest Chinese dictionary "Shuowen Jiezi". It refers to Chinese characters with the same pronunciation and meaning, but different font shapes." Wu Jinshan explained Dao, "This is an offshoot of the gradual evolution of Chinese characters. You know that in ancient times, the same character had several ways of writing, especially before the Qin Dynasty. The characters have not yet been unified, and even one character has as many as seven or eight. And these seven or eight kinds of writing are not created out of thin air, but have their own sources of writing. This kind of writing is one of the sources. It started before the Xia Dynasty, flourished in Xia, and declined in the Yin and Shang Dynasties."

"So this kind of writing has been popular for a short time?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Wu Jinshan nodded and said, "That's right. Since this kind of writing is called Wuwen, it is because it was circulated among the main ancient witches. In ancient times, only a very small number of people in this world could master writing, and witches are even more There are very few of these very few. With the demise of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the ancient witches began to gradually withdraw from the stage of history. This kind of writing has also been lost. However, there are still some traces left in some ancient documents."

"Then what are these words?" Fan Jiannan asked while touching the cold stone tablet of the Qin Dynasty.

"If you follow the ordinal numbers completely, it should be Jia, Chen, Geng, Wu, and Shen." Wu Jinshan thought for a while and smiled bitterly, "But I don't quite understand what it means." Fan Jiannan Silently repeated those words, stood up and cupped his hands, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

"Where is it? You helped me find Qin Keshi, I should be the one to thank you." Wu Jinshan shook his head.

Feng Yuan looked at the carved Qin stone and said, "Mr. Wu, what are you going to do with this stone tablet?"

Wu Jinshan sighed, and said with emotion, "I have been looking for it for more than ten years, and I finally found it. As an important cultural relic of the country, this Qin carved stone is a historical witness. Naturally, I want to try to restore it. Huidaiding. This is a relic left by the ancestors of the Chinese nation, and our descendants should preserve it properly."

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "That's what I said, but the fake Qin stone in Dai Temple has been confirmed by many experts. If you want to take out this real thing, it may cause a major earthquake in the academic world." Ah. You are not afraid of being considered a liar, and if you tell me about the origin of this Qin carved stone and this stone formation, no one will believe it."

Wu Jinshan said with a wry smile, "That's true, so if I want to return this Qin stone, I still have to spend a little thought and arrange it properly. But fortunately, there was a rubbing of this inscription. If you ask an expert to identify it, it should be It can be checked."

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Then congratulations first. Mr. Wu has finally lived up to the high expectations of the Quanzhen sect's predecessors who have guarded the Dai Temple for generations, and being able to successfully retrieve this carved Qin stone is a great contribution."

Wu Jinshan took off his clothes and carefully wrapped the stone tablet.He found some gravel to cover it up, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Before taking this stone tablet, he thought it better to be more careful.However, there is no road in this ravine, and maybe no one will come here in a few years.

After getting it done, the three of them returned along the same route.Although Wu Jinshan was excited, he didn't show it. Instead, he calmly ordered the Taoist to lock the door again.Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan also bid him farewell and left when they saw that it was late.

Wu Jinshan didn't ask them to stay, but just gave them a phone number, saying that if they had any questions about those Wuwen, they could contact him at any time.Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan smiled and said goodbye to him. This time, Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan took the cable car to go down the mountain.This journey was very peaceful, and I didn't meet those few Japanese Yin-Yang practitioners.

However, Fan Jiannan felt a little strange. They didn't meet anyone from Yishu Council or Dongmi along the way. Why did those two mediocre onmyojis follow them?However, he did not meet these two people on the way, and Fan Jiannan had no time to speculate.

After going down the mountain, Fan Jiannan immediately called Long Ge and told him the five stems and branches that Wu Jinshan deciphered from the Qin stone.

Long Ge is also overjoyed. He is currently at the bottleneck of studying these characters. If the characters Wu Jinshan said are correct, it will help him break through this bottleneck and lay the foundation for the next step of exploring other characters. base.

After Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan returned to the hotel, they finally relaxed completely.But those five words have been lingering in Fan Jiannan's mind, Jia, Chen, Geng, Wu, Shen, which position do these five words mean?In the hotel room, he took out the map again, and divided the entire Mount Tai region into ten vertical grids and twelve horizontal grids.Corresponding to the serial numbers of the stems and branches respectively, the location of Mount Tai's orifice is speculated little by little.
